Our standard fee is 25% of gross booking revenue (excluding cleaning fees). Cleaning fees are paid directly to the cleaners. Any other operational costs (supplies, maintenance, deep cleans, etc.) are passed through with full transparency and shown on your monthly owner statement. Our one-time onboarding fee is $1,500 that is made up of 94 steps and includes $875 of hard costs.
We handle it all: initial walkthrough, professional photos, supply stocking, OTA setup, listing optimization, pricing strategy, and a full deep clean. This setup is essential to launch strong and is often where many property managers fall short.
Yes, we start with an 24-month agreement that auto-renews. This allows for proper onboarding, review accumulation, and ramp-up. We structure contracts to protect both parties and ensure long-term alignment.
Our standard fee does not include:
- Local permit handling or city registration (owners are responsible, but we can guide you).
- Real estate agency services (though we provide feedback and projections on potential STRs).
- Utility setup, furnishing logistics, or supply buying (unless selected as part of a turnkey package).
- Sales tax reporting (offered optionally for an additional monthly fee — exclusive to HomeHop).
We currently manage properties across all major Ohio markets: Cleveland, Akron, Canton, Columbus, Cincinnati, Dayton, Toledo, Sandusky, and Hocking Hills.
STR legality is city-specific. We recommend connecting with us before purchase. We’re also founding members of NOSTRA (Northern Ohio Short-Term Rental Alliance), advocating for fair and responsible regulation.
Yes, you’ll need a policy that explicitly allows short-term rentals. We’ll review your coverage during onboarding and can connect you with our preferred broker to ensure compliance.
Yes — and it shows. We own over 30 properties as of mid-2025 and are launching a $5 million fund to acquire 50+ more. We evaluate everything through the lens of ROI, durability, and long-term value because we manage our homes the same way.

We use tools like PriceLabs and AirDNA to establish projections and benchmark performance. Once live, your home is managed by a full-time revenue manager using a specialized platform that automatically updates pricing, descriptions, and photo captions to maximize visibility and conversion. We review data weekly to continuously improve revenue.
Most of our 3- to 5-bedroom homes gross between $50,000 to $80,000 per year (after cleaning fees). That said, performance is highly variable depending on location, design, and amenities — with some top-tier properties reaching into the low $100,000s. Average annual occupancy is around 71%.
We have a network of over 14 cleaning crews, continuously evaluated for quality. Our properties average over a 4.9 cleanliness score on Airbnb — one of the highest in Ohio. Cleanliness is one of the most important factors in guest satisfaction and reviews.
Most property managers don’t have in-house maintenance — we do. HomeHop has two full-time in-house maintenance team members who handle the majority of issues quickly and effectively. We also have trusted contractors for nearly every specialty. This ensures fast resolution of problems, better guest satisfaction, stronger reviews, and ultimately, more money in your pocket.
It’s up to the owner. That said, pet-friendly properties tend to outperform on occupancy. We can help advise on whether it makes sense for your home.
Owner payments are distributed monthly, typically within the first 10 business days. Statements include a detailed breakdown of all reservations, associated expenses, and a folder with all receipts.
Absolutely. It’s your home. We’ll work with you to block dates and ensure your stay doesn’t interfere with existing bookings.
While we don’t prepare or file taxes, our CEO is a licensed CPA and we’re happy to provide high-level tax strategy support. One key area is cost segregation studies — a powerful tool for maximizing depreciation and returns. We ensure owners understand how to best optimize the financial performance of their investment.
Our best-performing homes are those we’ve led from a design perspective. We offer several hands-off design packages through our in-house interior designer and vetted partners. From layout to final staging, we manage A to Z, ensuring homes are optimized for photos, guest experience, and long-term performance. No other local manager offers this level of design integration.
Our 24/7 guest messaging team ensures rapid responses via AI-supported platforms and six dedicated staff members. From pre-check-in to handling any mid-stay issues, we ensure guests feel supported and problems are resolved promptly.
We have a waiver policy in place that covers incidentals under $500 — these are simply handled internally and not passed to owners. For damages over $500, we utilize Airbnb’s AirCover for OTA bookings. For direct bookings, we partner with a dedicated protection provider that is automatically applied to every reservation.
